Removes elected representatives from the process of establishing congressional
districts and transfers that authority to the recently–authorized
14–member redistricting commission.

Redistricting commission is
comprised of five Democrats, five Republicans, and four voters registered
with neither party.

Requires that any newly–proposed district lines
be approved by nine commissioners including three Democrats, three Republicans,
and three from neither party.

What a Yes or No Vote Means

A YES vote on this measure means: The responsibility
to determine the boundaries of California's districts in the U.S. House
of Representatives would be moved to the Citizens Redistricting Commission,
a commission established by Proposition 11 in 2008. (Proposition 27 on
this ballot also concerns redistricting issues. If both Proposition 20
and Proposition 27 are approved by voters, the proposition receiving the
greater number of "yes" votes would be the only one to go into
effect.)

A NO vote on this measure means: The responsibility to determine the boundaries
of California's districts in the U.S. House of Representatives would remain
with the Legislature.
